Unsharpened Sgian Dubh

Take it to a knife shop that does sharpening. Have them put an edge on it. If you don't know what you're doing, you risk ruining the blade. If you decide to do it yourself, look for a hand knife sharpener. Something like what you'd find here. Then it takes elbow grease (well, not really elbow grease, but it takes a while). Don't use a power grinder.

Oh, believe me - I have NO intention of trying to do this myself. I just wondered if anyone had done it or seen it done without completely ruining the look of the blade.

The really odd thing is, they first sent me one with a sharpened edge. When I complained about the condition of the handle, they sent me one with a better handle but the dull edge. Otherwise, they're identical.

Third stike is a charm? Try sending it back again (sounds like a reputable business)
